'Outlaw's' Carly Pope: Her dishy celeb crush plus 9 more juicy tidbits

She plays the tough, unrefined, and independent private investigator in NBC's new fall show, "Outlaw." 

While Jimmy Smits' character stepped down from his high-powered seat on the Supreme Court, Carly Pope's character, Lucinda Pearl, is a street-smart gal who doesn't have to play within the law.

Viewers will remember Pope from her stint on "Californication" and, one of our personal faves, The WB's "Popular." 

While Pope's character doesn't like answering to anyone, the star submitted to Zap2it's celeb slam book. 

I'd wipe that cheeky grin right off of it... It's been getting me into trouble for a good long time. 

 

Two neighbors -- a boy and a girl. In the bushes. In our alleyway. At the same time.

 

Only myself. I went through a phase where I attempted to convince everyone I met that I was Vicki from "Small Wonder." Who didn't want to be a Voice Input Child Identicant?!

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is

that we are powerful beyond measure..." This Marianne Williamson/Nelson Mandela quote is a major player in my life.

 

I'd like some time to chill with Mae West: "When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better." Her moxie was outstanding.

(Editor's note: Guess whose company produces "Outlaw"? Technically, that makes Conan Carly's boss! Juicy.)

 

About as much as I answer them.

 

I'd have to go with grinding my teeth... it's a nasty little habit. My dentist told me I have "the wear pattern of a 70-year-old." So at this rate, I'm fairly certain I'll hold a world record for "oldest living teeth" in no time...

 

Anything I've never tried before... I'm a curious creature by nature. Point me in the direction of something new to experience and I won't stop smiling.

 

My brother Kris. We're straight up kindred. Everyone's always thought we were twins born four years apart. Other than the time he vacuumed my head right after I started growing hair, he's been the best big brother a little sister could ask for. And a best friend, without question.
